Introduction 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Matthew Luke
Mark 16
Verse 1. Matt. xxviii, 1; Luke xxiv, 1; John xx, 1.
Verse
2. At the rising of the sun - They set out while it was yet dark, and
came within sight of the sepulchre, for the first time, just as it
grew light enough to discern that the stone was rolled away, Matt.
xxviii, 1; Luke xxiv, 1; John xx, 1. But by the time Mary had
called Peter and John, and they had viewed the sepulchre, the sun
was rising.
Verse
3. Who shall roll us away the stone - This seems to have been the
only difficulty they apprehended. So they knew nothing of Pilate's
having sealed the stone, and placed a guard of soldiers there.
Verse
7. And Peter - Though he so oft denied his Lord. What amazing
goodness was this!
Verse
9. John xx, 11.
Verse
10. Luke xxiv, 9; John xx, 18.
Verse
12. Luke xxiv, 13.
Verse
13. Neither believed they them - They were moved a little by the
testimony of these, added to that of St. Peter, Luke xxiv, 34; but
they did not yet fully believe it.
Verse
14. Luke xxiv, 36; John xx, 19.
Verse
15. Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every
creature - Our Lord speaks without any limitation or restriction. If
therefore every creature in every age hath not heard it, either those
who should have preached, or those who should have heard it, or
both, made void the counsel of God herein. Matt. xxviii, 19.
Verse
16. And is baptized - In token thereof. Every one that believed
was baptized. But he that believeth not - Whether baptized or
unbaptized, shall perish everlastingly.
Verse
17. And these signs shall follow them that believe - An eminent
author sub-joins, "That believe with that very faith mentioned in
the preceding verse." (Though it is certain that a man may work
miracles, and not have saving faith, Matt. vii, 22, 23.) "It was not
one faith by which St. Paul was saved, another by which he
wrought miracles. Even at this day in every believer faith has a
latent miraculous power; (every effect of prayer being really
miraculous;) although in many, both because of their own
littleness of faith, and because the world is unworthy, that power
is not exerted. Miracles, in the beginning, were helps to faith; now
also they are the object of it. At Leonberg, in the memory of our
fathers, a cripple that could hardly move with crutches, while the
dean was preaching on this very text, was in a moment made
whole." Shall follow - The word and faith must go before. In my
name - By my authority committed to them. Raising the dead is
not mentioned. So our Lord performed even more than he
promised.
Verse
18. If they drink any deadly thing - But not by their own choice.
God never calls us to try any such experiments.
Verse
19. The Lord - How seasonable is he called by this title! After he
had spoken to them - For forty days. Luke xxiv, 50.
Verse
20. They preached every where - At the time St. Mark wrote, the
apostles had already gone into all the known world, Rom. x, 18;
and each of them was there known where he preached: the name
of Christ only was known throughout the world.
